I have just finished reading these 2 books of spiritual poems by Rumi which was my first time buying and reading any of his books. I finished the first book of spiritual poems a few days ago and finished the second book tonight.
He was an amazing poet and I find it remarkable how spiritually evolved he was living back in the 13th century.
A few parts of poems in the 2 books leads me to believe that he had a problem with alcohol (or had at one point in his life) and I can relate more to his, how would I put it, 'extra creativity' because of that, although I would not advise people to go down the road of drinking much alcohol for a spiritual benefit. It is better avoided completely in my experience even if the experience of getting drunk is usually fun.

I wouldn't include myself and some others (spiritually minded people) in this, at least not all the time, although I do know what he is saying.
All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

Good column by Martina in yesterday's Indo (north and south)!

Pretending we're ok, denying pain, and putting on a facade is what we're expected to do.
Why sensitivity is a gift:
Most adults can’t regulate their emotions but expect their children can.

Regulating your nervous system doesn’t mean you’re always calm or stoic. It means you can feel intense anger or sadness and respond in ways you don’t regret later.
